The major question facing Congress and the American people today is what was the White House seeking to conceal by pretending the US Consulate and CIA Safehouse attacks were not the result of an organized Islamic Terrorist assault?

Marine Corps General James Conway said in a Department of Defense News Briefing on Tuesday that setting a specific date for our troop withdrawal from Afghanistan gives “sustenance” to the Taliban and to our other terrorist enemies. General Conway went on to say that the terrorists could choose to wait until we depart from Afghanistan.

In a time of war and in a time of peace, one does not want a Commander in Chief who votes “present,” puts his own political power goals ahead of national security and the safety of our Allies and of our own troops, and gives aid, comfort, encouragement, cover, and sustenance to himself and to his nation’s enemies. We hope that our perception that these things are happening will cease.

General Stanley McChrystal and his aides nailed the problems created by Commander in Chief Barack Obama in the Afghanistan War. The problem is these opinions should not have been revealed through a Left-leaning reporter in a Liberal publication

Obama can come out of this situation looking and acting Presidential. Obama can accept General McChrystal’s apology and resignation, thank him for his service, and replace him with General David Petraeus. Alternatively, Obama could accept McChrystal’s apology, reconcile with him, and send him back to win the war. McChrystal and his staff are effective warriors and know how to get the job done.
